∞ because my thoughts are being shaped in recovery by the spiritual ideals ∞
posted: Sun, Aug 5, 2007 11:06:06 AM
i find in my developing relationship with the God i have come to understand.
no longer does addiction shape my thoughts.
a true vision of myself, shaped by spiritual principles and a developing relationship with a HIGHER POWER. some days a very tough idea to swallow. most days an idea that i am more than happy to accept. today is a good day, i have been working on restoring my laptop to brand new, and am progressing well in that task, i had the opportunity to attend a wedding yesterday, and i did not have to act out and i am actually looking forward to a meeting tonight. and such as it is, i am actually happy with who and what i am today. i think i have a clear vision about what is what right now, but i have had very little interaction with the real world today, so after a bit all of this may change. and you know what, i can actually accept that idea too! what an amazing feeling for me this morning.
so off to concentrate on getting ready for the work week and having a bit of fun.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
3) With that gentleness I can be bold; with that economy I can be
liberal; shrinking from taking precedence of others, I can become
a vessel of the highest honour. Now-a-days they give up gentleness
and are all for being bold; economy, and are all for being liberal;
the hindmost place, and seek only to be foremost;--(of all which the
end is) death.
